Drank 10/6/23. Tasting event.

Scents if Black fruit, earth. On the palate, similar to the ornellaia, but lacking some of the structure and intensity.
3/21/8/4/4 +50 = 90 pts.

Blend: 33% Cab Sauv, 32% Merlot, 18% Cab Franc & 17% Petit Verdot, aged in oak for 15 months, dark Ruby with aromas of dark berry fruits, floral and spicy earthy notes. On the palate flavors of blackberry, dark cherry and plum, herb spice, cacao and cedar notes. Fine tight tannins, long finish, ending with fruit, spice, cedar and earthy notes. Very nice, needs time, decant if you most open, will age beautifully!
